The first time (in Corpus Christi, TX) was incredible, the second time (in Pensacola, FL) was honestly traumatizing.... So so bad. so going into this appointment, a few weeks before my wedding, I was terrified. From the moment I met Ally, she completely put me at ease. She was so friendly, patient, and listened to every single concern and worry I had. I was very upfront that I'm on tretinoin and that I use a tanning bed, and Ally was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful about it. She adjusted her approach, chose threading instead of waxing, and it completely changed the game for me. I usually break out after waxing my brows, and this time I had zero irritation whatsoever. My brows turned out exactly how I hoped. Beautiful, clean, and natural. I will absolutely be going back to Ally and highly, highly recommend her, just like so many of the other reviews do.

Honestly, this was such a bizarre service interaction. I should have left immediately, tbh. And the actual service was lack luster at best. I had to actually go home and talk to my husband to decode the whole thing to make sense of it. I won't be back. I wanted a nice way to pamper myself, but instead felt like all I did was pay for someone's poor behavior. And I smiled while it all happened, so I'm mad at myself for that part.

We were greeted by friendly staff, with big smiles. It was extremely inviting and comfortable. I met with Ms. Julie for my Prenatal Massage, and she was just as sweet and nice as all the other staff members. She made me feel so comfortable and asked me several times throughout my massage if I felt comfortable and if the pressure she was using was too much or not enough. The massage room was very clean, had dim relaxing lighting, and soothing music playing. The bathroom (which I had to use twice, due to baby squirming around lol) was modernly updated and extremely clean. My mother saw Ms. Natalie for her massage and had nothing but wonderful things to say when we met up again afterwards. Awesome place, awesome staff, will definitely be coming back again after baby is born! Thank you for such a relaxing, and tranquil experience. And thank you to my sister for our wonderful gift cards.

Between regular spa visits and at home care, my skin has improved so much, I have a brand new face in comparison to where we started. Mandi has done my body waxing, hydra facials, micro-channeling with pro-cell, and so much more. The spa is decorated beautifully, it smells amazing, soothing sounds throughout. Mandi also has this calming effect, I don't know what it is with her but as soon as she starts working with her hands, within moments you'll feel like you're on a cloud, decompressing, stress free, and deeply relaxed. Don't hesitate to book an appointment! She will not disappoint!

IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK!! BEWARE!! My husband booked a Valentine's Day package for me so my massage was…read moreon February 15th at 4:45. I arrived to the spa at 4:05. When I walked in I was asked if I needed to use the restroom and then someone had walked into the restroom so I was told to sit down in the front. In the package it says to arrive 30 minutes early to enjoy mimosas and sweet treats. I did not get taken back to the relaxation room until I stood up and said something. They were too busy chit chatting than worrying about their customer. Finally I was taken back to the relaxation room about 10 minutes before my massage. When I walked in I was shocked they had camper chair for us to sit in, in a so called "relaxation" room. I literally had to chug down my drink and sweet treats before my massage. Finally the massage. ABSOLUTE worst massage I've ever received. The lady spent more time putting the mint oil infront of my nose than actually massage my neck and shoulders, which was literally suffocating. I was also told that hot stone would be included. I had maybe 5 minutes of hot stone on my back and then another 5 minutes of her massaging my back. I'm carrying around a newborn and toddler all day so that was extremely upsetting. My husband booked this massage as a postpartum gift since I just went through an emergency c section and he just wanted me to have a day of relaxation. I left there extremely upset and frustrated instead of feeling good. I ended up leaving a review that night which I've never left a review in my life. And then they replied and was told in the reply if I was open to it they'd like to discuss this further. I called the spa 3 times and the first time I called I was told I would probably just get a refund and that I would be getting a call back. Every other time I called I was given the runaround and told I would be getting a call back. Finally this morning I called and spoke with the owner. The owner was not nice at all and told me because I left a review she will not be giving me any type of compensation. She literally said that because I left a review for the public to see she will not be helping me. I didn't know that I wasn't entitled to leave a review of my experience and because I did I will not be helped. Absolute insanity. Worst customer service and WORST "spa" I've ever been to. Stay away from this horrid place.

She straightened my hair but when it was time to cut, i was asked to stand for the hair cut... which iv never been asked to do before. Another older women was getting her hair done and she even asked why i was standing? the owner walked by and said because i have long hair ( it was middle of my back.) Day after the cut ic after i straighten it, its uneven. Yup i wont be back... so done and $30 for the cut... nope. Not worth the money. My stylist wasn't talkative and she would ask me questions for small chit chat but it would end when i answered the question. Blah. Older post: They do a great job at taking appointments and checking to see if your still coming. However the last 2 times i got my hair done i left with neck pain that lasted for weeks. They pull my hair too rough while in the sink. I dont think i will be back because they are too rough.

When I made a follow-up appointment to come back, I asked her if perhaps I should make the appointment with the other stylist and she said no she could handle it. As she started to cut my hair, I asked again, if perhaps her the other stylist shouldn't be consulted. She said no she could handle it. The results: I am either going to have to wear scarfs/hats or get a wig. She said she only cut a half and inch, but my hair has no style. I have never had such a bad haircut in my entire life. She should not be allowed to cut and style hair. How she ever got licensed is beyond my comprehension.

Linda of Eastern Electrolysis of New Bern NC is wonderful. She's the best permanent hair removal…read morespecialist I have ever been to. Not only is she very nice, punctual and reasonably priced, she's an extremely experienced electrologist with 20 years. And her location is one of the nicest I've ever been to for electrolysis, being discreet, impeccably clean and comfortable- not at the back of a busy hair salon! Electrolysis is much cheaper and permanent- unlike laser hair removal that doesn't work on light-colored hairs, darker skin, or hairs with very deep roots. Most people have to go to electrolysis after trying laser (but be warned- it takes months for all permanent hair removal to show results since there are multiple follicles). Women or men in New Bern, Havelock, MCAS Cherry Point, or anywhere in Eastern NC who need permanent hair removal should see Linda at Eastern Electrolysis; you won't be disappointed! Her hours were Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10am-5pm.
